Standing Still Lyrics


Guess we knew this was coming on
Cause you're already gone in my head
You can tell me that I'm wrong
That you're staying with me instead
When winter's come along
And summer's dead and gone
Is there anything left here to say?
I can put my arms around
The emptiness I found
And find a way to make you stay
But I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you leave me now
I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you're walking out
Yeah, I'm just standing still
Never thought I'd be this strong

When pieces of me break so easy
What I thought would be the end
Is just the feeling that you freed me
Girl, this ain't givin' up
It's knowing where to stop
Knowing when the thing is over
I know my love is blind
See for the first time
This ain't gonna bring us closer
Cause I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you leave me now, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you're walking out
I'm standing still
And I'm just standing still
As you leave me now
And I'm just standing still
When winter's come along
And summer's dead and gone
Is there anything left here to say?
I can put my arms around
The emptiness I found
And find a way to make you stay
Cause I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you leave me now, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm standing still
I'm standing still
As you're walking out
I'm just standing still
I'm just standing still
Yeah, I'm just standing still
Just standing still

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Like many before him, Colin Meloy (The Decemberists) was a frustrated college student before he was an acclaimed songwriter. While majoring in English, with an emphasis on creative writing at the University of Montana, he also played in an alternative-countryish band called Tarkio from 1996 - 1999. Members included Colin Meloy, Gibson Hartwell, Louis Stein, and Brian Collins. In 2006, Kill Rock Stars released a 2-cd discography of Tarkio's material entitled "Omnibus".
